Ten years after the introduction of the Calcutta name, Shimano is proud to present the new Calcutta TE™. TE stands for "Total Efficiency", a concept that represents the ultimate response to the two main challenges of the sport of fishing: casting and retrieving. For the first time indeed, Shimano's Super Free System (SF™) and High Efficiency Gearing ("HEG"™) are married in one reel. First, on the casting side, the Super Free™ Pinion Gear System of the new Calcutta TE virtually eliminates friction against the spool shaft, allowing you to cast farther with less effort. Once the fish bites, the High Efficiency Gears take over for an incredibly fluid and powerful retrieve. The oversized main and pinion gears give the Calcutta TE more leverage and power, while achieving a 5.0:1 ratio retrieve that is smooth and effortless. And the TE oversized main gear allows the use of a larger-than-ever Dartainium™ drag, which means more drag surface for more stopping power and an incredible range of drag settings. The GT comes with a wiffle spool and two bearings in each handle for even more fluid retrieve than the standard Calcutta TE. Performance sure to satisfy even the most performance-hungry fisherman.

CX®

The sweetest words a father will ever hear are "Dad, will you take me fishing?" You rush out to the tackle store to buy equipment, but you're so excited you're delirious. Luckily, the familiar Shimano colors act as a beacon in the madness, and from among the offerings you select the CX, a beautiful, functional reel that's liquid smooth and easy to operate. Because you remember your first time with great fondness. And you want their first to be even more special.   AX® There's a lot more to life than fishing. Breathing, for instance. Eating. Sleeping. And those who lead such a balanced life may prefer a simpler choice in spinning tackle. One with just enough accoutrements to allow them all the pleasures of fishing without creating a fanatical desire to eliminate eating and sleeping from their busy schedules. For them, we suggest the AX. Relax. Be balanced. Enjoy. FX® If your idea of a basic fishing outfit involves a swatch of bamboo with a kite string tied to the end of it, the FX is going to terrify you. It actually retrieves with the same stability and smoothness as our flagship reels. It casts with amazing ease. And you even have your choice of three sizes to accommodate any type of fishing situation. There's a lot of technology in Shimano's version of "basic". Can you handle it?
